Exams are public
As a starting point, any oral exam is public – i.e. others can be present at your exam and you can invite guests.
If the exam is individual and examination is done on the basis of a group-made product, other members of the group cannot be present in the room until it is their own turn to be examined.
KEA may restrict public access to the exam, e.g. out of consideration for you as an examinee or concerning assignments with a company subject to confidentiality. The examiner may restrict access to the exam room for space reasons, and exclude individuals from attending the exam if necessary to maintain order.

Illness during exam
If you become ill during the actual exam, you must immediately notify the examiner or exam supervisor, who will pass on the information to KEA Study Administration. If the exam is interrupted, it will not count as an attempt if you fill in and submit the form "Sygemelding akut/notification of illness acute" in SDBF before 16:00 on the exam day.
If you have not registered sick in SDBF within the time limit, the notification will not be accepted and you will have used an exam attempt.
The time of the re-exam will appear in Wiseflow.

Exam cheating, plagiarism and expulsion from the exam
If you cheat at the exam, or if you disrupt the exam, you may be expelled from that exam. Expulsion may also take place after the exam has been held. Expulsion from an exam due to cheating/plagiarism means that any given grade will be annulled and that you will have used an exam attempt.
Cheating includes:
- Wrongful help received at an exam
- Wrongful help given at an exam
- Passing off the work of others as your own or using your own previously assessed work without reference (plagiarism, see below)
- To conceal or mislead about your own efforts or results
- To use aids that are not permitted for the exam in question.
For more information on plagiarism, see www.stopplagiat.nu
If aggravated or repeated cheating takes place, you may be expelled from your programme for a short or long period of time. In case of expulsion for aggravated cheating, you will receive a written warning that any repetition of the cheating may result in permanent expulsion from the programme.

Plagiarism
Written exam assignments, projects, reports and the like to be submitted in connection with an exam must be prepared by the student himself/herself. It is considered plagiarism if a student passes off the work of someone else as their own or uses their own previously assessed material without any source reference.
In the case of an individual assignment, it will also be considered plagiarism if the assignment features passages of text which have been created jointly by a group of students and they appear identical in several assignments. Plagiarism is categorised as cheating, and the consequences are therefore as described above.
Please note that all deliveries in Wiseflow will undergo a systematic plagiarism check.
USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), INCLUDING CHATGPT OR SIMILAR APPLICATIONS
KEA does not allow any use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including ChatGPT or similar chatbots or programs that can generate text or code (the so-called Large Language Models) to solve/answer exam assignments, unless explicitly stated in the assignment description. This applies to both written and oral exams, and it applies to exams where all aids are allowed.
If a student has used AI tools to solve an exam assignment or parts thereof, it will be considered exam cheating, as the exam assignment was not solved independently.
According to chapter 9, section 34 (2) para 3 of the Ministerial Order on Examinations "it constitutes exam cheating if, among other things, a student [...] is secret or misleading about his/her own efforts or results". It is therefore inconsistent with the Ministerial Order on Exams if a student passes off as his/her own a delivery or parts thereof which have been prepared by AI/a chatbot.
However, AI may be used outside an exam to generate ideas or to provide creative input or feedback on texts. AI may thus be used for study work. Read more about the use of AI and Chatbots in the Study Guide.
Consequences of cheating and plagiarism
In the event of exam cheating, KEA may expel a student from the exam. This means that the exam paper will not be assessed and that the student will have used an exam attempt. KEA may also decide that the student will be expelled for any given short or long period.
On finalised treatment of the case, KEA will issue an opinion that the student will be allowed to comment, within a two-week time limit. The final decision will then be made and notified to the student. The notice will be sent to the student's KEA email address.
Repeated cheating will be considered aggravating circumstances
If a decision of exam cheating has previously been given to a student, any subsequent exam cheating will be considered aggravating circumstances and may result in permanent expulsion.

Disruptive behaviour

Use of PCs for multiple-choice exams
